Weather Update: Cold and Stormy Weekend, Warming Trend Ahead

A frost advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. for most of the region, with temperatures expected to drop between 32 and 40 degrees tonight. However, the workweek will start with a warming trend, with temperatures reaching 70 degrees or higher on Monday and southerly breezes bringing in a warmer air mass. The growing season in the region has not yet passed typical last-frost dates, with areas along the Interstate 81 corridor having to wait until nearly May for confidence in being past a typical season's final frost.
